@TheFifthWorld22 I'm not sure what you mean.

With horror movies, you have that luxury, because you're not actually in the horror-story. It's not happening to you; it's only happening to the fictional characters in the movie.

We have had this type of response. Back in 1918.

That is generally true in microbiology. You tame a bothersome species of microbe by deploying some chemical or practice which stomps the bothersome species, and the species dies out, except for the mutant members of the species whose mutations happen to enable the mutant strains to thrive even in the presence of your chemical or practice, and after some time those mutants grow and reproduce and spread to the point where they're numerous enough to bother you again, and then you invent another chemical or practice which stomps the mutant strain, except for a few mutant members whose mutations happen to enable the strains to thrive even in the presence of both your chemicals or practices, and on and on it goes, until by deploying all your chemicals and practices you have selected some mutant strains which are able to thrive in the presence of all your chemicals and practices. We're already almost there with some horrible microbes like mycobacterium tuberculosis. And it's not because microbes are clever or cunning. It's just because mutations happen and in time, all possible permutations occur, and some of them happen to be good at resisting the chemicals or practices, and those are the ones which survive and grow.

* No they're not demonic, * and the march toward transhumanism has been underway since the 1970s, and won't be stopped or even slowed down by you refusing the vaccine, * and if you get infected by the virus then your body will make the same mRNA as is in the vaccine, PLUS mRNA which codes for all the other viral proteins as well as mRNA which codes for the "spike" protein (which is what is in the vaccine), * and there's no need to stay away from them, * and you are an idiot.

When an agency changes its position in light of new discoveries about the subject, that shows that the agency is MORE credible. The ones with zero credibility are the ones which DON'T change their positions when new data emerge.

@votefraudjoe997 Doctors and medical scientists talk to patients about lifestyle and diet all the time. It's very tiresome, and it has a real negative effect: a lot of patients so dislike being hectored about lifestyle that they (the patients) conceal problems from their doctors which the doctors need to know. I have had friends who had early symptoms of type-2 diabetes, and did not tell their doctors, because they didn't want to be told that they had to change their diets and exercise more. And then when the patient needed some kind of surgery or other stressful procedure, the people in charge of the procedure didn't know that the patient was early-diabetic, so they didn't take the special measures they have to take with diabetic patients, and the procedure was more risky.

Yes, the virus is a Chinese bio-weapon, and the reason why the Chinese unleashed the virus when they did is very obvious to anyone who was up-to-date on the trends in classical music. There's an opera-- Puccini's last opera-- which is very challenging and not performed all that often, except by the really top-level companies, because it's so difficult for the singers. Puccini never finished it, but other lesser composers have composed endings. It's called "Turandot" and it is set in ancient Peking, or rather, in Puccini's fantasy of what ancient Peking was like. Turandot was experiencing renewed popularity early in 2020; it was a big fad in the opera world. The Met was scheduled to do it in April, and several other opera companies like San Francisco Opera and Chicago Lyric Opera were gonna do it, and even the "little-grand-opera" companies like Regina Opera in Brooklyn and West Bay Opera in Palo Alto -- companies which cast young, still-unknown singers to give them a start on their careers, and which perform in small venues for audiences of fewer than 150 people, were getting ready to do it. It was also trendy in Europe. (These trends come and go.) This opera Turandot is very offensive to Chinese nationalists, because it depicts the Chinese people as superstitious, bloodthirsty barbarians ruled by a sadistic tyrant. But because of COVID-19, the companies had to cancel their performances. This was obviously what the Chinese government was hoping to accomplish by unleashing the virus at that particular time-- to prevent Turandot from being performed in Europe and USA. That is cui bono in this case. Well, just look at this; you can see what motivated the Chinese: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPZH2fV_PKc&t=6m29s

@Chicken_Little_Syndrome Have you ever heard of a procedure called SEQUENCING NUCLEIC ACIDS? Look it up. (I'm assuming that you have finished tenth grade.) THAT is how they knew there's a mutant strain. Here, this should help you get started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnF1b_Kqf88
